The Proof Is In: The US
Government Is The Most Complete Criminal Organization In Human History

Paul Craig Roberts

Unique among the countries on
earth, the US government insists that its laws and dictates take precedence
over the sovereignty of nations. Washington asserts the power of US courts over
foreign nationals and claims extra-territorial jurisdiction of US courts over
foreign activities of which Washington or American interest groups disapprove.
Perhaps the worst results of Washington’s disregard for the sovereignty of
countries is the power Washington has exercised over foreign nationals solely
on the basis of terrorism charges devoid of any evidence.

Consider a few examples.
Washington first forced the Swiss government to violate its own banking laws.
Then Washington forced Switzerland to repeal its bank secrecy laws. Allegedly,
Switzerland is a democracy, but the country’s laws are determined in Washington
by people not elected by the Swiss to represent them.

Consider the “soccer scandal”
that Washington concocted, apparently for the purpose of embarrassing Russia.
The soccer organization’s home is Switzerland, but this did not stop Washington
from sending FBI agents into Switzerland to arrest Swiss citizens.

Try to
imagine Switzerland sending Swiss federal agents into the US to arrest
Americans.Consider the $9 billion fine
that Washington imposed on a French bank for failure to fully comply with
Washington’s sanctions against Iran. This assertion of Washington’s control
over a foreign financial institution is even more audaciously illegal in view
of the fact that the sanctions Washington imposed on Iran and requires other
sovereign countries to obey are themselves strictly illegal. Indeed, in this
case we have a case of triple illegality as the sanctions were imposed on the
basis of concocted and fabricated charges that were lies.

Or consider that Washington
asserted its authority over the contract between a French shipbuilder and the
Russian government and forced the French company to violate a contract at the
expense of billions of dollars to the French company and a large number of jobs
to the French economy. This was a part of Washington teaching the Russians a
lesson for not following Washington’s orders in Crimea.

Try to imagine a world in
which every country asserted the extra-territoriality of its law. The planet
would be in permanent chaos with world GDP expended in legal and military
battles.

Neoconned Washington claims
that as History chose America to exercise its hegemony over the world, no other
law is relevant. Only Washington’s will counts. Law itself is not even needed
as Washington often substitutes orders for laws as when Richard Armitage,
Deputy Secretary of State (an unelected position) told the President of
Pakistan to do as he is told or “we will bomb you into the stone age.” http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/south_asia/5369198.stm

Try to image the Presidents of
Russia or China giving such an order to a soverign nation.

In fact, Washington did bomb
large areas of Pakistan, murdering thousands of women, children, and village elders.
Washington’s justification was the assertion of the extra-territoriality of US
military actions in other countries with which Washington is not at war.

As horrendous as all of this
is, the worst of Washington’s crimes against other peoples is when Washington
kidnaps citizens of other countries and renditions them to Guantanamo in Cuba
or to secret dungeons in criminal states such as Egypt and Poland to be held
and tortured in violation both of US law and international law. These egregious
crimes prove beyond any doubt that the US government is the worst criminal
enterprise that has ever existed on Earth.

When the criminal
neoconservative George W. Bush regime launched its illegal invasion of
Afghanistan, the criminal regime in Washington desperately needed “terrorists”
in order to provide a justification for an illegal invasion that constitutes a
war crime under international law. However, there were not any terrorists. So
Washington dropped leaflets over warlord territories offering thousands in dollars
in bounty money for “terrorists.” The warlords responded to the opportunity and
captured every unprotected person and sold them to the Americans for the
bounty.

The only evidence that the
“terrorists” were terrorists is that the innocent people were sold to the
Americans by warlords as “terrorists.”

Yesterday Fayez Mohammed Ahmed
Al-Kandari was released after 14 years of torture by “freedom and democracy
America.” The United States military officer, Col. Barry Wingard, who
represented Al-Kandari said that “there simply is no evidence other than he is
a Muslim in Afghanistan at the wrong time, other than double and triple hearsay
statements, something I have never seen as justification for incarceration.”
Much less, said Col. Wingard, was there cause for a litany of multi-year
torture in an effort to force a confession to the alleged offenses.

The presstitute Western media
are part of Washington’s criminal operation.
